Re: Is Dr DU good?

Pretty much everybody in my year goes to Dr Du. I see his homework booklets all the time in English class and in the library. So I guess he must be doing something right.

I haven't been to Dr Du before, so I can't say anything about them. However, if you live near Fairfield/Parramatta, you may consider going to Ngo & Sons. They teach extension 1 mathematics really well :)

dr du is alright if you like spending half the lesson writing down notes from the board

and $$$$$$$$
and lots of hw

:D

In my opinion, i dont think Dr Du is worth it if you dont consider your self strong at independent learning and learning at a fast rate with minimal chances for questions or personalized help. The main reason people go to Dr Du is to compete with other people from high ranking selective schools and to make sure you are at their level. Its also worth going if you think you arent being challenged enough by your school and want tougher questions/want to accelerate ahead of your school. If you think this does not sound like its for you i think private tutoring is your best bet.

maths faculty at my school and I think science faculty both get annoyed at Dr Du tutoring.

Same my maths and science faculty was really iffy about it bc people blatantly take out their Dr Du homework in class and work on that instead of paying attention
